By filing an appeal, you initiate the appeal procedure. In this procedure, the decision of the authority is reviewed again for its legality and appropriateness. Your reasons for the appeal are also taken into account, as new facts may have come to light that were previously unknown to the authority. It is therefore advisable to state the reasons for the appeal.
If the authority concludes that the appeal is justified, it will revoke the original decision and, if necessary, make a new decision. This depends on whether you want the administrative act to be revoked (challenge) or whether you also want the authority to make another decision (obligation). Your appeal will then be upheld.
If, on the other hand, the authority considers your appeal to be unfounded, it will refer it to the city law committee for a decision. The city law committee will then examine the matter and decide whether to reject or uphold your appeal by issuing a notice of appeal.
If, after the appeal procedure has been completed, you (still) consider your rights to have been violated, you are entitled to take legal action.
The deadlines for lodging an appeal can be found in the information on legal remedies in your notice. As a rule, this is one month after notification of the decision.
